Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £180 for the year, resulting in unrestricted reserves decreasing from £8,760 to £8,580. The trustees note that there was no expenditure during the year because the charity placed young people with a local company that did not request funding. Consequently, the charity's financial position remains stable with current assets fully covering liabilities.
